The Truth....

Yes, the truth and it ain’t that pretty! I am in home hell....everywhere is in chaos! Bertie’s 2nd Birthday (thanks for your lovely messages), family staying, me ending up feeling ill and also receiving almost 40 orders in just one day (along with general orders the rest of the week....which is amazing, but that’s a lot for little me!) I might be absent for a short time whilst I try and deal with this calamity! I’m sure it’ll calm down soon.

Lots of love and I hope you’ll all come back soon :)

Two

Yes, Bertie is now two! He's had a fun-filled day, visiting the Museum Of Childhood, had grandparents to stay, opened lots of presents, eaten delicious cake, and now, he’s sleeping soundly (not for long though I suspect). 

And I am shattered! Plus, all the pictures I have taken today have been terrible! What happened Kerry?! Hmph.


Thank you for so many anniversary wishes - wowzers, you’re all very sweet :)

▲ Happy Anniversary ▲

Four years ago today, I married this young man here (this picture is a few years old), and I think I’ve done alright for myself :) He has cooked my dinner almost every day from day one and he’s very good at DIY! Ha, there are plenty of other super-cool things about him too (amazing dad, he's my personal encyclopedia, oh, and he has a nice face). I won’t mention his atrocious sense of direction (never known anything like it!)....

In other news/enough of the soppy stuff, thanks to my friend Amy Walters, I have discovered Snapspeed, and I blimmin’ love it!

Also, wow, what a mega response to my new postcards and pocket mirrors! I’m almost sold out of some designs, so I’d better order more. Fast. Thank yooooooooouuuuuuu!

p.s. Tomorrow, a little blonde-haired boy with a bowl hair cut is turning 2! It’s all happening. Word.

Wednesday

Good day to you all. I thought I’d post these photos as they seem to go quite nicely together - Bertie’s monster pyjamas are from H&M and my Jessica Nielsen cushion (a Christmas purchase). I’m quite into green at the moment. I also wanted to capture Bertie’s bed-head yesterday; it was a good’n! If only the bed head was a symbol of a good night’s sleep eh? Unfortunately not....but I always moan about that, so I’ll say no more and keep smiling :)

Have a nice day.

Hello Monday

Welcome to a new week. I hope your weekends were fun-filled. I spent most of mine working on a little illustration project and packaging up wholesale orders. I’m gaining quite a few stockists around the world now, which is good :) Fortunately Dan took Bertie out for a few hours, which meant I was able to be a bit productive for a change. I am working on some new shop-related things/products, which I look forward to revealing to you all over the next few weeks.

In other news, I am seriously behind with replying to your comments and emails, I’m so sorry! As always, I just can’t keep up with life :( Hopefully it will be a bit easier now that I have changed my comments settings so that I can reply directly to you in the ‘comments’ section (although oddly, all the text is really close together....hmm, what’s that all about?) Anyway, it might mean I will be a bit better at communicating! 

Busy busy!

Bye for now and have a lovely day ♡

p.s. There’s always time for a bit of Pinterest though - you can find my pins here, over 3000 of them - woah, that’s some serious pinning/or a serious addiction? You decide......

p.p.s. I should make it clear that the little Tree House picture is by Jen Collins :)

At home with some afternoon winter sunshine. So nice. A week of challenges, a week of changes....but all is and will be good (even better when Bertie finally decides to sleep at night...Come on boy, it’s been almost two years now!)

I wish you all a perfect, sunny weekend ♥

p.s. Back next week :)

Bits & Pieces

Hello everyone. A few random pictures from over the weekend. We have hung up our new Rob Ryan bunting - very pleased with it, yes. 

I bought the little buttoned tank top for Bertie (how could I resist this beauty?) from Whitney’s shop, Little Reader Vintage. Have you visited Whitney’s blog? One of my long-term favourites. She takes great pictures.

Do you like our foxy cushion cover? I got it from The Modern Baby, a brand new, super-cool online store (which just happens to stock some of my prints). Well worth a visit, especially as there’s a sale on.

That’s Bertie under his dinosaur play mat - he’s mega into dinosaurs, and can tell you all about them, their names...apparently they eat ‘nuts!’

Finally, that’s the bunting I made. I prefer Maisie’s though.

Have a happy day :)

p.s. Thank you for your nice comments regarding my new year grump....it would seem I’m not alone, although I am feeling a bit better now. Having a good clean up at home has helped, as the general mess/grime was getting me down. Onwards and upwards eh?!

Sky

Hello on a Sunday. I captured the most beautiful sunrise a few mornings ago - January 4th, at 8am I believe it was. My bedroom was glowing. Lovely.

I hope you’re enjoying your weekends.

The Climber

Good day to you! Bertie has become a big climber. Chairs, tables, Maisie’s bed ladder, anything he can climb on, he will try it. I should have asked for an extra pair of eyes for Christmas!

Trousers by Bobo Choses (bought on sale - I can’t afford them prices maaan!).

P.S. Happy Birthday to my brother Daniel. He’s turning the big 30 today x :) An uninteresting fact for you here - I have a brother called Daniel, and I’m married to a Daniel, and now my Mum is also married to a Daniel - gets a bit confusing for my brain!

Have a nice day.

New Year

Helloooooooo It’s 2012! Here’s a smiley, cheeky-faced picture of Bertie, framed by a beer bottle and a wine glass (well it was christmas day *cough*!). So now it is January, please have a look at my new January Links in the sidebar. Hopefully you’ll find some lovely new blogs to follow (although if like me, your language skills aren’t great, you’ll need to use 'translate’ with most of these!).

Happy January! The sun is shining - no January blues here (ok, there were yesterday, but today feels better!)

Any resolutions?? Mine are just the usual - be more organised, tidy, have a more structured week, blah blah blah....(crikey, I sound like the dullest person ever!) My husband Dan’s are usually food related - one year it was ‘get good at making bread,’ another year was ‘learn to make cakes without following a recipe.’ I believe last year’s was ‘eat more good cheese.’ I lose track, but I think this year’s is to 'follow a recipe from a cookery book once a week.’ We are so alike in almost every way, but when it comes to cooking, we are very different -  Cooking makes me MOODY! 

Happy New Year from us Seventy Trees!
